EXPERIENCE THE DOVETAIL DIFFERENCE: Western Timber Frame kits feature an award-winning Post-to-Beam Dovetail Connection System. This innovative design not only makes installation faster and more convenient, but the dovetail also creates very strong, rigid corners. Over time, as the timbers expand and contract with changing seasons, these dynamic joints maintain a close-fitting connection, minimize gap exposure and reduce typical twisting and warping.Save time and headache during installation, get superior strength and quality, and extend the life and beauty of your investment with the remarkable Dovetail System!
